So which ones of you are on the IPC-A-600 committee?
You can consider editing this for the next rev.  Because "skived" is the
word used.

Have a good day, eh? (from another Canadian)

I am more used to the term skiving as it relates to compliant pins being
pushed into Tin-lead plated-through holes. The skiving results in FOD. 
I think thieving is more in-line with what you are referring to.

Subject: [TN] The meaning of "skived"

Can anyone define "skived" as in:
IPC-A-600      2.9.3.3   Ball Grid Array (Solder Dam)

"....in order to avoid solder being skived from the attachment joint
into the via."

Online dictionaries define skive as:	to slice off (leather, rubber,
etc.) in thin layers; shave.

It sort of gives me an idea, but it really isn't very clear.
Thanks in advance.
